At the annual conference of The Society for Technology in Anesthesia
[STA], Jeff Robbins will lead a discussion on "The Meaningfully
Engaged Time Out" on Jan. 11 at 3:30pm. His presentation will discuss
team engagement in surgical time outs, integrating time outs into
surgical workflows and hospital medical records, and reporting
compliance to meet Joint
Commission and CMS standards.

As part of its role in encouraging the development of innovations in
technology, STA holds an annual Engineering Challenge, open to
engineering students at all levels. This year's challenge was to
devise a smartphone app for a patient
safety time out. STA has assembled industry experts, including
LiveData CEO Jeff Robbins, to assess this year's entries. The
challenge also has a longer-term benefit of getting these innovative
ideas in front of thought leaders in academia and industry. For more
